I am not familiar with the way your cholesterol was reported. The blue gray ring around the edge of the cornea is called a cornal arcus and is cholesterol deposited in one of the layers (Bowman's membrane)  It is a normal part of aging after 65-70 but in younger people can be a sign of high cholesterol.

There is any medicine or treatment to reduce the corneal arc

No it is too deep within the cornea, does not threaten vision, and is in most people a normal party of aging like hair turning grey.
